RIP Paul Newman
[quote=""SonjaMarie""]And he had one Hollywood marriage that actually lasted "Til death do us part" with Joanne Woodward, poor woman to have lost her husband after so many years

I love Paul Newman, it's very sad news, but he was married before Joanne Woodward. I believe he has 2 daughters from the first marriage. He was one of the Hollywood greats.

He was one of the great ones - Cool Hand Luke, Butch Cassidy, Fast Eddie and on and on. And he was a nice person and extremely generous. Newman and his family definitely cared about people.
He spent an afternoon in McClellanville SC scouting locations for Message in a Bottle almost ten years ago at the time a very close friend of mine had a silk screen T-shirt business. He ate at a restaurant next door and then came over and shot a quick bit of pool on the table in her building. She said he had a ball cap and sunglasses on most of the time, but did dip the glasses down so she could get a look at those marvelous blue eyes of his while she was talking to him.
Wow. Wish I'd been there at the time! I did come by later and she showed me a spot where he leaned on the pool table. I had to touch that spot! Anyway, he was such a cool guy and left a unique legacy behind.

I read about this in the "Washington Post" online yesterday. Another great actor gone.
Newman was the Stage Manager in the play "Our Town" during PBS's "Masterpiece Theater: American Collection" 2003-04 season. It was his first Broadway production in 38 years. I think this may have been among the last of his acting roles.
